Size Comparison Size Comparison OP-1 Dimensions L 282 mm, H 102 mm, D 13.5 mm Durable Design The durable light grey painted aluminium body gives a solid feel and also works as a protection for the internal components. The OP-1 has no visible screws. Durable Design Flexible Architecture When you create a sound on the OP-1 you use the keys T1 - T4 to switch between the different sound pages. The chart below shows what’s hidden under keys T1 to T4 in Synthesizer and Drum mode. The flexibility here is that every ‘building block’ is exchangable. Which means that you may switch Engine but keep Envelope, Effect and LFO type. Or Just switch LFO. Flexible Architecture Depending on LFO type you may modulate any of the three prevoius pages’ parameters. Remember to consider any copyright issues.
